In The Time We Have at Trident Gallery
in Gloucester, Massachusetts now through April 24
Ruth Mordecai's artwork "Between Drawing and Sculpture / Torso" steel, 17 x 23 x 12 in.
Longer days, brighter skies and warmer temperatures. Spring is finally here. With Spring comes rebirth and renewal- time to rejuvenate and grow. The Trident Gallery on Cape Ann, Massachusetts hosts In The Time We Have. The exhibit reminds viewers that time is never stagnant and everything is constantly changing, evolving and growing. It asks important an important question: "how can there be identity, in the ceaseless flux of time?" In The Time We Have features artists Ruth Mordecai, Ken Riaf and Susan Erony who create pieces focusing on the inevitability of change and what that means to each artist individually. From steel sculpture to assemblages to mixed media, the exhibit includes various mediums and appeals to a wide audience. Ruth Mordecai's steel sculpture piece Between Drawing And Sculpture / Torso (1995) depicts the differences in mediums and how the two interact with one another. Another piece by Mordecai, Dance/Landscape Series #1 shows the interaction between time and movement and how the two relate. Ken Riaf's assemblages Reflections in Time Out Room and Times Shadow focuses on a theme of time being bigger than us and how that can be overwhelming and sometimes unbearable. By using clocks and small figurines, the physical and metaphorical dichotomy in size is enhanced. Susan Erony's mixed media work Flight features butterfly wings dispersed skillfully and thoughtfully throughout the page and a darker color palette, representing a sense of hopefulness and the freedom to grow despite sorrow. Trident Gallery is located at 189 Main Street in Gloucester, MA. The gallery is open Thursday, Friday and Sunday 10 a.m. through 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. through 7 p.m., and Monday and Tuesday by appointment. In The Time We Have is on view now through April 24.
